Pine Scent and Lasagna

Our apartment smells like pine tree and lasagna. Separately, they are good scents, but together, it's an interesting combination. I bought a tree today. It's a very nice tree. I like it. It is, however, a bit big. My tree last year was the perfect size, but this year, it takes up a quarter of the living room. My roomie and I periodically just start laughing at it. My roomie is being very cool with it. She said it's like living in a forest. :-) It's definitely a conversation piece. I'm going to start trimming it this weekend.

There are so many things that I would like to do or to be "into," passionate about. But, one can only be "into" or passionate about a few things. My "things" are my faith, people (relationships, i.e. friends, family, patrons, etc.), books, libraries, and objects in libraries. This is actually a longer list than I thought, but I think it is difficult to be passionate about more than 5, maybe 6 things. Thus, I would like to be a better cook, crochet, work on my Spanish, learn tech skills, etc. But, I don't have the space or ability to be into these things. I can add them to my schedule, but they're not my thing, and that's ok. Time and desire. Time and desire.
